Description

This is one of three books in a series dedicated to teaching the youth of Christianity’s rich history of martyrs and saints. We would recommend these for ages 9-14 (or above). This book is constructed with premium binding and paper, with a beautiful cover–made to last a lifetime! 

The main idea of the books has been to give a fair picture of Martin Luther – his words and actions – and to shew, in a measure, how they gradually affected England, as well as what was the state of England when his voice began to be heard in Germany.
